ScreenSense, in partnership with the RUSD PTA, presents an evening of education for parents around child use of smartphones and social media.
6:30PM - 7:45PM: (5TH GRADE - 8TH GRADE PARENTS) PARENTING PHONES & SOCIAL MEDIA IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. TOGETHER.
Today’s social media landscape is shaping how kids see themselves and the world—often before they’re ready. This talk dives into current research on how platforms like TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, YouTube, and Discord are impacting youth mental health, self-esteem, and safety. Parents will leave with practical strategies to delay and reel in social media use, set healthier boundaries around phone use, and reduce potential harm. We'll also discuss how parents can work together to ease peer pressure and create supportive norms around healthy tech use.
